There Is Enough For Everyone

Over the years, I’ve often struggled with feelings of jealousy. I have also experienced competitiveness in various areas.

Times of low self-worth and fragile self-esteem say I’m “Not Enough”.

Feelings of “Not Enough” can occur in the workplace. It also happens within my family, friends and out there in the world in general.

These feelings of “Not Enough” perpetuate competition and jealousy instead of collaboration and cooperation.

Over the years, with the help of therapy, I’ve become more comfortable in my own skin.

I have a deeper knowing of the many gifts I bring to the table of collaboration. I am also enthusiastic and willing to learn from others.

Authors like Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer write about Laws of Abundance and Attraction.

They speak about expansion and how there is enough for everyone.

Competition and jealousy constrict and contract.

Collaboration and cooperation expand and grow.

The “Like” Button

These days, it is a true challenge to feel we are enough.

Social media creates a utopia where everyone looks happy, successful, and beautiful.

I’ve struggled with Facebook for years.

A dangerous combination of feeling “Not Enough” and the addictive hook of the “Like” button.

How many people notice me?

How many people think I’m important?

Over the years, it has taken some work to see Facebook as a positive connection to others.

Today, I see it as a way to stay in touch with friends and family.

It also serves as a venue to promote my blog.

I still pay very close attention to how I use Facebook.

I do not use it as a medium for filling a need for attention.

Now, I post for the joy of sharing itself.

Still, on low days, I struggle with how many “likes” I get. I feel that number somehow reflects me.

But, psychologically – Facebook is set up to hook us.

It is the stupidest thing.

So, for today, I will not be insecure and jealous.

I know I am enough.

As I walk through my day, I will be heart centered in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation.

S, 🌻
